This practical textbook on the operations of intermodal transport and logistics focuses on the practical concerns and the basics of operations, such as vehicles, containers, handling operations, logistics management and optimisation, with some additional chapters on economics and the environment to put the practical topics into context, but with less emphasis on higher level issues such as policy and planning. It presents a balanced textbook for MSc students and also a reference for those in industry or the public sector involved in the planning of intermodal freight transport, with chapters written by a group of specialists"--Provided by publisher. |
